UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JOSEPH JAUCH, OF MERIDEN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO THE BRADLEY & HUBBARD MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE LAMP-SHADE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,800, dated April 15, 1890.

- Application filed January 6, 1890. Serial No. 836,078. (No model.)

T ail wlwm/ it y 007106770: as to take the flame as far from the top of the Be it known that I, JOSEPH JAUCH, of Merifount as may be and yet permit a proper draft den, in the county of New Haven and State of oil. The arms by which the shade-holder of Connecticut, have invented new Improveis supported have usually run radially inments in Lamp-Shade Holders; and I do hereward in a horizontal plane to the ring around by declare the following, when taken in conthe burner; but in the larger lamps this nection with the accompanying drawings and brings the shade too low to permit the dethe letters of reference marked thereon, to be sired distribution of the light-that is, it a full, clear, and exact description of the same, brings the edge of the shade below the flame,

IO and which said drawings constitute part of whereas it is desirable that the edge of the this specification, and represent, in shade shall be so far above the flame that the Figure 1, a side view of the shade-holder rays from the flame may be thrown laterally as attached to a lamp; Fig. 2, a vertical cenoutward beneath the shade. Again, in lighttral section through the ring K, showing its ing the lamp, as the burner cannot be rer 5 connection with the burner and the detachmoved in so doing, it follows that the shade able connection of the arms L therewith; must remain in its place, .and the lighting Fig. 3, a top view of the ring K; Fig. 4, atop must be produced by reaching up under the view, and Fig. 5 a transverse section of the shade. This operation exposes the shade to the modification in the attachment of the arms danger of igniting.

20 to the ring K. Heretofore to raise the shade-holder to a This invention relates to holders for that pointabove the top of the burner, as well as class of shades now generally employed for to permit its easy removal for lighting and the better class of central-draft lamps. The trimming, a frame-work has been set around shade proper is usually made from silk the burner, consisting of two rings, one

25 crimped so as to produce a frustum-of-cone adapted to rest on the collar or at the base of shape, and is of a very large diameter comthe burner, where the shade is usually suppared to the size of the lamp. These shades ported, the other at a distance above, the two are made separate from the holder, the being connected, so that the upper ring will holder itself being aframe-work adapted to form the seat upon which the shade may rest.

30 be-secured to the" lamp, so that the crimped While this construction accomplishes the So shade may be set over and supported upon objects both of elevating the shade and of the frame. The burner of these lamps is permitting its easy removal, the shade-supmacle removable from the fount, and the porting frame-work must be made separate frames which support the shade usually confrom the shade-holder and stand around the 3 5 s ist of a ring of a diameter corresponding to burner, and is held in place by the burner the lower end of the burner or collar of the itself, so that to remove the frame it is necesfount, so as to be set thereon before the sary to remove the burner. This frame is burner is in place, the burner being of larger inconvenient, not only as being a separate diameter above the point where the ring is structure from that of the shade-holder, but

0 attached. The frame for the holder is made that it interferes with the trimming of the go from wire with arms projecting from this lamp. ring to a base-ring slightly less in diameter The object of my invention is to construct than the larger diameter of the shade, and the shade-holder so that the shade may stand arms run obliquely upward and inward from in an elevated position, be supported from 5 this base-ring, terminating in an annular the lower portion of the burner, and yet made 5 crown upon which the upper end of the shade easily removable; and the invention consists may rest, the lower portion of the shade bein the construction, as hereinafter described, ing supported by the base-ring. and particularly recited in the claims.

In the more general construction of this A represents the burner; B, the fount of.

50 class of lamps the burner is of so great height one of the larger styles of central-draft lamps. 10o

0 represents the base-ring of the shadeholder, which is a ring of wire corresponding in diameter to the internal diameter of the shade near its lower edge and as usual in this class of shade-holders.

D represents the crown, which is made from sheet metal. It is arranged parallel to the base-ring G and connected thereto by several arms E, which are hinged at their lower end to the ring 0, as at F, Fig. 1, and adapted to detachably interlock with the crown, asat G,

and so that the arms may be readily detached therefrom, that the arms may be folded into the plane with the ring as a convenience in transportation. So far the shade-holder is of well-known construction.

To form a seat for the shade-holder which shall be of a larger diameter than the larger diameter of the burner, an auxiliary ring H is set around the neck of the fount, so as to be held in place by'the burner, which projects over the ring substantially as with the to the ring K. The arms L are of a length to.

give them a sufiicient obliquity to raise the shade to the. desired elevation above the burner, so that the holder, while supported directly from the burner, carries the shade at the desired position above the burner.

From the fact of the enlargement of the ring K and the providing of the seat-ring H on the burner, the shade-holder, together with the ring K, may be raised from its seat and lifted over the burner or reset without removing the burner from its place on the fount, as for lighting or trimming.

The arms L should be detachably connected to the ring K. This is best done by turning the lower ends Not the arms L upward vertically j through corresponding holes in the ring K,

as seen in Fig. 2, and applying to the ends projecting through the frame nuts 0, and so that when the nuts are applied the ring K and the arms L are firmly united; but by removing the nuts 0 the arms may be detached from the ring K, and thenthe arms swing upward and within the ring 0, as represented in broken lines, Fig. 1, and so that the arms K and the arms E are then turned into a plane substantiallyparallelwith the plane of thering O, whence the whole structure is brought into a very narrow compass for convenience in packing and transportation. The ring K may be provided with a set-screwP, by which it may be secured in place, as seen in Fig 2.

The oblique or elevating arms L may be permanently attached to the ring K, as seen in Figs. 4 and 5, as by turning the end of the arms through corresponding holes in the ring and riveting the ends of the arms thereto.

I claim- 1. The herein-described shade-holder, con sisting of the auxiliary ring H, supported upon the fount and below the top of the burner and constructed with an annular seat I of larger diameter than the diameter of the burner above, combined with the shadeholder consisting of a base-ring and crown connected thereto, a ring K, adapted to rest upon the said seat I, and arms L, connecting the said ringK with the base-ring of the shadeholder, substantially as described. I

2. The herein-described shade-holder, con,- sisting of the auxiliary ring H, supported around the burner and below its top, con structed with an annular seat I of larger diameter than the diameter of theburner above,

combined with the base-ring G, crown D, arms E, hinged to said ring and extending obliquely upward, detachably connected to the said crown, the ring K, adapted to rest upon the said seat I, with arms L, hinged to the said ring C and extending inward, their inner ends detachably secured to the said ring K, substantially as described.
